He's like a one man version of that game we played as kids called telephone where someone whispers something to someone else and it goes through a line of people and the last person then says the sentence. Generally it's significantly different than the original.

Aside from that it's hilarious that he stood right there live and admitted he didn't need to declare this emergency. Which makes it more than clear there is no emergency.

Dotard

Thats a good comparison

Also, he signed a document today. Doesn't that kind of neglect the need for an emergency.

I mean - if asked "So Mr Dotard, why did you sign the bill if didn't think it was enough?"

WEll, you see, in CHYNA, I am bigly

and did you hear today how he answered a question when referring to China. He spoke it like he was a Chinese person speaking English.

The damage Trump has inflicted on the Justice department, CIA, FBI, and every other intelligence agency is far worse then anything done to him to date.

Eh. That's not a good justification of the means. Even the more lefty media was concerned that the DOJ acting to set this in motion was troubling. There's procedure to follow. The revelation/former rumor that McCabe confirmed plays right into the hands of the Trumptards and Trump himself that "they're out to get him". Last thing we want to do is validate Trump's conspiracy theories.... and it just happened.

I see what your saying and agree Trump and Fox can whip their base into a frenzy over this.

But, I see it as just another one of those flash points in this spectacle where both sides see it totally differently.

The other side of the coin sees the Comey firing where Trump admitted to Lester Holt he did it because of the “Russia thing” as obstruction of justice and this warranted everything that McCabe did and the ensuing investigation.

Look at the circumstances. At the time Trump was full tilt assaulting any Russian or campaign investigation. Comey, Orr, Rosenstein, McCabe,Yates, and other ranking members of intel agencies and Justice department new a multitude of individuals and possible crimes with Russian fingerprints all over them. Meanwhile, Trumps calling it all a fabricated witch hunt. Still does after all this validation.

When historians have all the facts and write the definitive books about this in the future, I think the FBI and Justice Dept officials that initiated and pursued this investigation will be the ones remembered by history as the true patriots and justified in what they did.

Even to manufacture the reasons? or compel him to act a certain way to invoke something extreme? and even if those "responsible parties" are acting outside the boundary of their jobs?

Wow. Remember this when people look for reasons to oust the next guy you like.

Does it matter? The GOP is getting behind an imaginary national emergency to build an extremely unpopular wall because no one else wants it. My alternative is just sitting here and waiting until the GOP does it to us.

The investigation is separate and legitimate.
This was McCabe and Rosenstein trying to set the President up, getting someone to literally wear a wire, and getting him to say crazy **** so they could prod other cabinet members to invoke the 25th. That isn't something history is going to look fondly upon. I hope.

Yeah. It does. For ****'s sake, the moment it stops mattering we should just shut off the lights and call the game.

Again, half of our political representation is willing to pretend there is an emergency at our border so they can take money from real emergencies to build a racist political promise.

Do you honestly think the game is still being played in a meaningful manner?

Enjoy your guns while you can, I guess. Because the GOP is trying to establish a precedent where Elizabeth Warren or whoever can declare your right to own them to be a national emergency. I have this crazy notion that we should look into removing the one human on the planet most responsible for setting that into motion.
